David Probert Saturday rides blog: 'There's a lot to like about his chances'

David Probert has six rides at Goodwood on Saturday (May 3), all of which he previews in his latest exclusive blog with Coral, where he also gives his 2000 Guineas thoughts.

He is a cool horse who has been consistent all year. Goodwood should suit him. Patrick (Chamings) says he is in good order. He was a winner last time so there is a lot to like about his chances in this small field.

She has been quite keen recently. This is a tough assignment for her, but she will be staying on strongly, so the faster they go early, the better her chances of getting into the frame.

She ran well on her debut at Bath, finishing fourth of nine runners. We will be hoping she takes another step forward here. She will be getting weight off the opposite sex in this field, and she should know what it is all about now.

I had a sit on him last week around Kempton. I am pleased with how he has built out over the winter. To me, he looks an even stronger horse now. He would appreciate a little rain, but Jack Channon would not run him if he did not think he would act on the ground. This is a horse who could be set for a good season.

It was a decent run last time at Beverley, but he was keen in that race. He just wants a nice even gallop. There is no reason why he can’t come forward again and be competitive in this contest.
